The situation has gotten dire for the New Orleans Pelicans, who finished 14th in the West this season at 21-61. In the aftermath of another failed campaign, the franchise is considering a clean slate, which means an uncertain future for their star, Zion Williamson.
The 24-year-old swingman was drafted first overall out of Duke, where he became famous for his size, power, and hyper-athleticism. As a 2x All-Star, he was slated to be the face of Pelicans basketball with career averages of 24.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game on 56.7% shooting.
